It is an important regional example of Greek Revival design, with a floor plan echoing Montgomery Place and ornament recalling Minard Lafever and James Dakin. The designer is not known.","narrative":"Built between 1835 and 1840 for Carroll Livingston, Forth House is a brick, hip-roofed Greek Revival dwelling on the west side of U.S. Route 9 in Livingston, Columbia County. It sits on about nine acres and was oriented to take in views of the Catskill Mountains. The three-bay east facade has a porch with four Ionic columns sheltering a studded door beneath an anthemion and palmette motif. Inside, double parlors open together through pocket doors, and the cellar still holds its original kitchen with a cooking fireplace and bake oven. The house is the last of a series of sophisticated masonry houses built for the Livingston family in the former manor lands. Its plan follows that of Montgomery Place, and its detailing recalls the work of Minard Lafever and James Dakin, although no designer has been identified. Later owners repaired the house, and a 1980 octagonal wing was added.","period_of_significance":"c. 1835-40","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; restored over about forty years by later owners, with a 1980 octagonal wing added.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.86908-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000331.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317000","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5472590"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/forth-house-10000331/"}
